坚强，有多少人渴望坚强？又有多少人放弃坚强。
埋下一颗坚强的种子吧，让坚强的种子萌发；埋下坚强的种子吧，让坚强的种子长成小树苗；埋下坚强的种子吧，让它经过风雨的洗礼，顽强的生长着；埋下一颗坚强的种子吧，让它长成参天大树，屹立不倒！有多少人渴望坚强！有些人虽然外表高冷，但内心很脆弱。
他们经不起打击，他们不愿向人倾诉，只会在心里默默承受；他们白天一副若无其事，到了晚上却在被子里流泪；他们内心脆弱，一点小事就能够让他们伤心难过、委屈！让我们埋下一颗坚强的种子吧！那一次，我与班上的一个同学闹矛盾了。
那天下午，天灰蒙蒙的，乌云密布。
放学了，班级里传来一阵打骂的声音。
我和那个男生吵起来了，接下来事情愈发不可收拾，其实我也不想这样，可是内心却不让我示弱，就在矿泉水瓶砸过来的时候，我没有躲开接着我的`好朋友阻止了这场风波，但是她也批评了我，因为我当时很生气，所以在她批评我的时候，我冲出了教室，随即眼泪也跟着要落下来，但我忍住了。
因为我知道他们就跟在我身后，我不想让他们看到那次事件后，我和她疏远了，就在她来找我的时候，我都当没看见其实我一点也没怪她，那是我的错，但是我的要强让我与她越来越疏远，后来我学会了坚强，因为谁不是要强的人呢？但只要每个人都各退一步，海阔天空。
不是挺好的嘛。
让我们埋下一颗坚强的种子，让坚强伴随着我们。
不要让高冷、要强占据了你的内心，要坚强，不要害怕，不要让别人欺负你。
那些外表高冷，内心脆弱的人，快埋下坚强的种子吧，高冷不能伴随一生，但坚强会让你有一个依靠，坚强才是最真实的，真实地存在的。
埋下一颗坚强的种子吧！。
caged bird诗歌鉴赏
Caged Bird 诗歌鉴赏1. 鉴赏与解读1.1 《Caged Bird》是美国著名作家玛雅·安吉洛（Maya Angelou）的代表作之一。
这首诗以自由与束缚、希望与绝望为主题，以描绘被囚禁的鸟儿和自由飞翔的鸟儿为比喻，抒发了对种族隔离和不公正待遇的愤怒和对自由的渴望。
1.2 诗歌采用简洁明了的语言，利用对比的手法，将caged bird（被关押的鸟）和free bird（自由的鸟）进行了对比描绘。
这种对比揭示了种族隔离和自由的普遍意义，同时也可以引申为对任何被束缚的个体的追求自由的呼唤。
1.3 诗歌运用了大量的视觉和听觉形象，比如“caged bird sings / with a fearful trill / of things unknown / but longed for still”，在读者心中勾勒出了一幅鸟儿在笼子中诉说心声的画面。
通过这些形象的描绘，让读者能够更加真切地感受到被囚禁的鸟儿内心的挣扎和渴望自由的愿望。
2. 主题探讨2.1 诗歌中的caged bird和free bird代表了被压迫和被解放的人群。
caged bird面临的是种种束缚和压抑，而free bird则可以自由飞翔于天空。
这可以被理解为对种族隔离历史的讽刺，也可以被理解为对任何追求自由的个体的呼唤。
2.2 诗歌通过对caged bird的描绘，呼应了当时美国南方种族隔离的社会现实，也对种族歧视的不公进行了深刻的讽刺和揭露。
2.3 通过free bird的形象，诗歌也传递出了对自由、平等和尊严的向往，呼吁人们勇敢追求和捍卫自由与尊严。
3. 个人观点3.1 《Caged Bird》通过简练清晰的语言，深刻地揭示了当时美国南方种族隔离的社会现实，呼吁人们勇敢追求自由与尊严。
3.2 诗歌将被囚禁的鸟儿描绘得极其生动和真切，深深触动了我对于自由和平等的向往。
无论是在种族、信仰还是性别等方面的不公，都应该引起我们的反思和行动。
托尼_莫里森
1、《最蓝的眼睛》：研究主要集中在主 题分析、创作手法和人物分析 主题研究主要从性别种族文化的角度 创作手法:小说的结构评析和对象征意象 的分析 单独对人物分析比较少
2、《秀拉》：国内研究主要是主题分析、 叙述特征分析和女性主义等方面 主题分析主要是女性的自我建构和价值 实现 特征分析中叙事特征分析相对较多
4、爱
莫里森的作品，爱是贯穿始终的主题。家庭的 关爱，社区黑人的集体关爱，民族之间的爱， 对自己的爱
5、历史
美国黑人如果不愿意接受历史，无论他们到哪 里，到那块大陆都不会有未来。接受自己的过 去——自己的历史——并不等于要沉溺其中， 而是要学会在其中受益。
6、魔幻与现实交替
将现实主义和黑人神话结合在一起
第三，“娇女”代表了黑人现实中仍就 在遭受的不平等的苦难，是过去苦难的 延伸。 娇女是每个人的娇女，是每个黑人心目 中那段惨痛的历史记忆。
（三）Theme（主题）
1.黑人分裂自我的重新整合。 莫里森：“我热爱我的人民，我首先是 作为一个黑人，一名黑人女性在写作。” 《娇女》的开篇题词“六千万甚至更多” 莫里森：“种族主义的创伤，对种族主 义者和牺牲者，都是自我的严重分裂， 对我来说永远是导致精神病的原因（而 不是症状）”。

从历史的“牢笼”中站起——解读《我仍将奋起》中黑人民权主题
从历史的“牢笼”中站起——解读《我仍将奋起》中黑人民权主题本文从网络收集而来，上传到平台为了帮到更多的人，如果您需要使用本文档，请点击下载按钮下载本文档（有偿下载），另外祝您生活愉快，工作顺利，万事如意！玛雅·安吉洛(Maya Angelou)无疑是美国当代文坛上尤为耀眼的黑人诗人，她诗歌的主题及意义由于其自身的坎坷经历显得格外特殊。
《我仍将奋起》(Still I Rise)是玛雅·安吉洛的诗歌代表作，是美国黑人争取民权的纪念碑式的作品。
胡塞尔曾经说过：“意义确实描述了一个客观的东西，但意义并不因此而具有图画的性质。
意义的本质毋宁说在于某种意向，它能够意向地‘指向’任何东西。
”诗歌是诗人通过某种方式向读者传递情感主题的工具，诗歌主题需要诗人匠心独运才能得以生成。
诗歌意义在形成的过程中，诗人综合运用到各种手法，除了措辞和句法外，意象、象征、比喻、韵律等方面也起着至关重要的作用。
下面我们将细读一下《我仍将奋起》文本，挖掘诗中“黑人争取民权，面对歧视无畏”的诗歌主题意义。
一、言说者和语气——创造诗歌意义的主体很多诗歌中，诗人总是会为诗歌创造一个言说者，通过他的视角来观察、描述、抒发感情，而这个言说者一般都是带有主观情感的，以表达隐含在作品里的诗人的感情，因此，言说者应当是构成诗歌意义的一个重要元素。
《我仍将奋起》的言说者是一位黑人女性，也就是诗人自己。
玛雅·安吉洛童年生活在美国南方阿肯色州斯坦普斯的祖母家，亲身感受到种族隔离制度带给黑人的创伤。
20世纪60年代，她先后侨居埃及和加纳，在加纳，她遇到黑人社会活动家杜波伊斯和民权领袖马尔科姆·爱克斯，在他们的影响下，她返回美国积极投身民权活动。
正是在这样的背景下，诗人以“我”的口吻创作了这首追求平等、表达自由的诗歌。
二、意象——表达诗歌意义的媒介在比较文学中，所谓“意象”简单说来，就是主观的“意”和客观的“象”的结合，也就是融入诗人思想感情的“物象”，是富有某种特殊含义和文学意味的具体形象。
